UNSPSC 50122040 Wild caught mako shark is a Commodity code that shows no recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code in the source are for fish sticks (Georgia Department of Administrative Services), grocery products for school nutrition programs (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Richmond County Board of Education), food distribution services and retail market operations (Invest Atlanta), and general food supplies (State of Georgia). None of these solicitations specify wild-caught mako shark or any specific shark species; the fish sticks bid does not itemize ingredient sourcing or species. The code appears to have been applied as a catch-all for seafood-related food procurement rather than as a precise match for the commodity it names. State and local procurement bodies issuing under this code include school districts (Hancock County, Early County, Richmond County), state agencies (Georgia Department of Administrative Services, State of Georgia), and special-purpose economic development entities (Invest Atlanta). The geographic activity shown is concentrated in Georgia.

The Georgia Department of Administrative Services issued an RFQ (92100ERFQ0020702027) for fish sticks to supply Georgia Correctional Industries with bids due October 12, 2026, requiring deliveries in 40,000-pound increments with all-inclusive pricing. Hancock County Board of Education posted an IFB (PE67080NONST2027000000008) for school nutrition grocery and food service supplies across multiple categories, including proteins and seafood, with bids due June 26, 2026. Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line bids for food and non-food products supporting school meal programs, with bids due June 8, 2026. Richmond County Board of Education in Augusta issued an RFQ for grocery products covering frozen, refrigerated, and dry storage items with firm pricing valid through June 30, 2028, bids due May 27, 2026. These opportunities emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP plans, food safety certification, firm pricing with limited escalation flexibility, and delivery to multiple school and correctional facilities. The code shows minimal decision relevance for vendors pursuing wild-caught shark sourcing specifically.
